2001 Monaco Monarch Side to Side Roll

[MonarchKen]

I just purchased a 2001 Monaco Monarch with only 6500 miles. My question is about the roll from side to side on windy roads. I have talked to several different rv dealer service departments about the problem and I got different answers as to how to cure the problem. One says I need to install Roadmaster Sway Bars on the rear, another said I need a true trac system and the other said I needed to have rear air bags installed. Can anyone tell me which one I really need?

Ken, what chassis do you have?

My 2004 GulfStream Sunvoyager on the ford F-53 20,500 chassis had that problem.
Had Firestone Air Ride installed front and rear, adjustable separately, and that corrected the problem. Rear or front bars will correct "Tail-wag" and steering.

You need a rear track bar. I'm not sure if a 2001 has a front track bar but if does not, get that also. These items will make a big difference in ride and handling and make your coach much safer to drive.

Ken, you can order the Firestone Air Ride direct,if you or a friend are "auto handy",
and install yourself.
I had mine installed by a trailer/iron works locally, and have never regreted the $1600 price tag. All the difference in the world.

Best Regards, Clyde

I bought a 2003 Monarch from a private party. It had the trac bar on the front but I would still get a lot of roll in a turn or in the wind. I installed (myself) Firestone air bags on all four and it is now steady as a rock. I also installed Koni shocks all around and it made all the difference in the world in the ride. I only had 22000 miles when I changed the shocks and three of the four were absolutely shot.
